(b) frustum of a cone and a cylinder
(c) a hemisphere and a cylinder
(d) two cylinders
Solution. (a)
Explanation:
A cylindrical pencil sharpened at one edge is the combination of a cone and a cylinder as shown below:
Question. 2 A surahi is the combination of
(a) a sphere and a cylinder
(b) a hemisphere and a cylinder
(c) two hemispheres
(d) a cylinder and a cone
Solution.
Explanation:
The lower portion of a surahi is a sphere and its upper part (neck) is in cylindrical shape.
(a) a cone and a cylinder
(b) a hemisphere and a cone
(c) frustum of a cone and a cylinder
(d) sphere and cylinder
Solution. (b)
Explanation: Base of a plumbline is a cone and its top is a hemisphere.
(a) a cone
(b) frustum of a cone
(c) a cylinder
(d) a sphere
Solution. (b)
Explanation:
The shape of a glass (tumbler) is usually in the form of a frustum as the frustum of a cone is the shape obtained obtained by cutting a right circular cone by a plane parallel to the base of the cone.
Question. 5 The shape of a gilli, in the gilli-danda game (see figure) is a combination of
Question. 6 A shuttle cock used for playing badminton has the combination of
(a) a cylinder and a sphere (b) a cylinder and a hemisphere
(c) a sphere and a cone (d) frustum of a cone and a hemisphere
Solution. (d)
Explanation:
The shape of the shuttle cock is in the form of the frustum of a cone and a hemisphere.
Question. 7 A cone is cut through a plane parallel to its base and then the cone that is formed on one side of that
plane is removed. The new part that is left over on the other side of the plane is called
(a) a frustum of a cone
(b) cone
(c) cylinder
(d) sphere
Solution. (a)
Explanation:
When a cone is through the plane parallel to its base then the part other than the cone is called the frustum of a cone.
Question. 8 If a hollow cube of internal edge 22cm is filled with spherical marbles of diameter 0.5cm and it is assumed that space of the cube remains unfilled. Then, the number of marbles that the cube can accomodate is
(a) 142244
(b) 142344
(c) 142444
(d) 142544
Solution. (a)
Explanation:
Given, edge of the cube = 22cm
∴ Volume of the cube = (side)3 = (22)3 = 10648cm3
Also, given diameter of marble = 0.5cm
Question. 9 A metallic spherical shell of internal and external diameters 4cm and 8cm, respectively is melted and
recast into the form a cone of base diameter 8cm. The height of the cone is
(a) 12cm
(b) 14cm
(c) 15cm
(d) 18cm
Solution. (b)
Explanation:
Given, internal diameter of spherical shell = 4cm
And external diameter of shell = 8cm
∴ Internal radius of spherical shell, r1 = 4/2 = 2cm
And external radius of shell, r2 = 8/2 = 4 cm
Question. 10 If a solid piece of iron in the form of a cuboid of dimensions 49cm × 33cm × 24cm, is moulded to form a solid sphere. Then, radius of the sphere is
(a) 21cm
(b) 23cm
(c) 25cm
(d) 19cm
Solution. (a)
Explanation:
As a cuboid is moulded to form a sphere,
Hence, the radius of the sphere is 21cm.
